It will be the first time that China's oldest trade fair is held entirely online.

The online Canton Fair will mainly include three parts: online display and docking platform, cross-border e-commerce zone, and live telecast marketing service. It focuses on B2B and some B2C platforms, creating a 10x24-hour online foreign trade platform.
Actually, it’s not the first time that hold online Canton Fair, it appeared in 2003. And in past online Canton Fair not play an important role, its function is to display products and transaction instrument. Now, affected by the outbreak of the global epidemic, the on-site trade fair was forced to be suspended and replaced with the Online Canton Fair. The first online trade fair was a breakthrough innovation that not only effectively hedged the negative impact of the outbreak, the iterative upgrade of traditional exhibitions makes full use of new technologies and new models to improve the quality and efficiency of the fair.
